This is a film about Bosnian war vets who have made one of their projects to protect a herd of wild horses. I only saw the trailer and read the synopsis, but my main questions was how did an American film maker come to make a documentary in Bosnian (Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian are all "mutually intelligible standard varieties" according to Wikipedia.) He said he lived in Mostar for four years and I think he spent more time in Bosnia altogether. Long enough to get the trust of this group. So those were the kinds of questions I asked. Here's about five minutes of our conversation. Basically it covers how he found this subject and made the film.
The film shows Monday, December 4 at the Bear Tooth at 8pm. Shawn is scheduled to be at the Monday night showing.
Just to help out, here's a map of most of the former Yugoslavia. This film takes place in Bosnia and Shawn lived in Mostar for 4 years.
